Boxing at the Summer Olympics
Boxing
has been contested at every
Summer Olympic Games
since its introduction to the program at the
1904 Summer Olympics
, except for the
1912 Summer Olympics
in
Stockholm
, because
Swedish
law banned the sport at the time. The
2008 Summer Olympics
were the final games with boxing as a male only event. Beginning with the
2012 Summer Olympics
, women's boxing is included in the program. Along with
wrestling
, it is one of only two sports that still require participants to have amateur status.
